Chapter 709
“Well said! You couldn’t have said it better.” Thrilled, Nigel patted Justin’s shoulder a little too hard.
It was silent on the other end of the line before a chuckle was heard Grant said encouragingly, “It’s
great that you think so. I hope you and Ms. Thompson will get back together soon.”
“Thank you, Grant,” Justin murmured.
For some reason, there was something about Grant’s tone that did not sit well with Justin.
Nigel took over the call and said affectionately, “Grant, how’s life in Meridan? I heard Golden Bay is
breathtaking. When are you taking me there for vacation? I could do a day out in the sun.”
“Nothing beats home, Grandpa. Home is where the heart is.”
Grant uttered with a tender smile, “The journey to Meridan is too long for you, Grandpa. You’re not
getting any younger. I don’t want to put you through that. Maybe it won’t take long for me to get better
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand meet you back in Savrow.”
Justin did not show his uneasiness.
“Hahaha! That would be great. It will be best if you can come back, Grant. Our family will be together
again.”
Nigel sighed with concern. “But don’t strain yourself. I understand how you are doing.
“I won’t blame you if you can’t make it back. I can always visit you. It’s just a 14-hour flight. We have a
private jet. It’s no trouble for me at all.”
The pair chatted for a bit before hanging up.
“Dad, did Grant say that he’s coming back? Is it true?” Gregory’s eyes lit up as he asked frantically.
Nigel’s eyes flickered, but before he could answer, Matt knocked on the door and stepped into the
ward.
“Ms. Thompson, Mr. Hoffman, and Ms. Carrie are here.”
“Who? Carrie is here too?”
Amid Gregory’s surprise, Bella and Ryan walked into the room.
Ryan entered the ward hand-in-hand with Carrie.
He held her hand openly, with nothing to hide.
Carrie hid behind the man shyly, her face blushing with embarrassment.
Bella was with them all the way. Despite her strong feelings about their relationship, she could say
nothing at all.
She could not stop Carrie from seeing Ryan when they were in love with each other.
“Ryan, you-”
Gregory stared at the interlocking fingers of the young, beautiful couple in shock.
“Uncle Greg.” Ryan smiled brightly.
Everybody was baffled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBella clutched her chest and glared at Ryan.
Ryan would often address Gregory formally, so it was unlike him to
address Gregory as such.
Gregory tensed up. “What’s the meaning of this, Ryan?”
Ryan took a deep breath and raised his hand with Carrie’s before
speaking the words he had rehearsed all night.
“Uncle Greg, Carrie and I are madly and passionately in love. I have fallen head over heels for your
daughter. My love for her is undying, unfathomable, and unstoppable…”
Bella and Justin had a facepalm moment. Ryan’s speech was something else.
“S-Stop it, Ryan. I feel so embarrassed.” Unable to take it anymore, Carrie gave his hand a squeeze.
Her face went red.
